It is only fair to look at history when one is speaking so blatantly about “innate intelligence”. Blacks were enslaved for more than 400 years with no access to any form of education, while whites were becoming more educated with each generation. Now if you believe in eugenics, each generation builds on the progress of the previous. Whites progressed while blacks remained the same for centuries. Even after slavery, it is only within the last fifty years that blacks have been given opportunities for education and even then it is not the same quality as whites are receiving. It is only fair to say that blacks possess the potential match the white intellect given that they are brought up in the same manner. We must give credit to the rising number of blacks that are being submitted to state universities and other higher education institutions.

Under the skin we are all equally the same.

We must understand that civil rights were granted to blacks only 5 decades ago. It takes more than one generation to catch up with the social inequality. Sure legally and socially racism has been controlled but what about the racist talk over the kitchen table? I bet even today there are many white parents (particularly of Nordic origin) who are still telling their young impressionable kids how inferior their black fellow citizens are.
The measurement of blacks in terms of their achievement would be realistic only after at least 2 generations when most of the white supremacists who lived thru the black slavery days have died and kids make their own judgement of their fellow human being

In response to the comment made on Jan 5, 2010 by Guest. Standardardized Test measurements are defined by the questions asked, which are defined and determined by the question designer. Please consider the source of the question before determining its infallibility in measuring intelligence. This includes racial correlations. Differing life experiences influence question responses. A major error in the “standard” test is an assumption that everyone taking the test have equal exposure and access to knowledge.

To be quite honest, people will believe what they choose to believe regardless of having scientific proof or not. If I’m raised in a poorly educated house hold, then my test scores may reflect that, no matter what race I might be. My race is just a part of me. Race alone does not dictate my circumstances, nor does it define me completely. So, obviously there are people of various races who are more or less intelligent then some others. You would see this if we all truly had an equal opportunity (and we do not). If you put a white person and a black person in the same life situation, and neither one had access to a job, money for food, education, clothing, survival mode should kick in. Then you would see that race has very little to do with the will to live, survive and prosper. Don’t judge, THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our physical appearance is dictated by our genes. Natural selection could affect how we look when specific environmental conditions cause genes adapt over time. We are all related! You might not like it, but try to disprove it and see what you find. You may be blacker than you think.

it is true. only for this reason: some of the whites that were racially biased in the civil rights movement are still alive. the teenagers of that era now have families. they tell their kids what they thought of blacks and unrightly spit racism back into play. now the white kids with racist parents are domed to be racist. furthermore, the kkk does have a significant enough audience to brainwash nonracist whites into becoming a racist, they recruit them. and furthermore, ‘hoods’ like camden, gangs, and the general ‘gangsta’ agenda is a dying trend. it wont take long for community development, environmental projects, and education to prosper in these areas. hip hop is about money these days; the easiest and safest way to make money is through schooling. but we all know whos falling behind on funding schools and providing good education. the government.

as i see it, it may take another generation, maybe more to fully rid this country of racism. us blacks won the civi rights movement on a federal level, almost. its up to the country itself to man up and respect our brothers and sisters as equal americans, and its up to the government to spend their billions on things that really matter. then finallly, equality will be possible

The results of most studies that use scores earned on standardized tests (IQ, SAT, etc) show that measured intelligence level and race do indeed correlate. This is quite an inconvenient fact in our modern progressive era. While it is immoral and foolish to judge on the basis of race alone, to assume that race plays no role in innate intellectual capacity is misguided.
